Geocache Description:

L'Eglise Romane de Saint-Denis

Eglise de St-Denis



---FR---
Entourée de son cimetière, l'église de Saint-Denis se dresse au milieu du village.

La tour de l'église est le plus vieux bâtiment du village. A l'origine cette tour était probablement construite en bois et entourée d'un fossé. C'était l'endroit où on se réfugiait en cas de danger.

A l'époque romane (XIIème siècle) se dressait une forte tour de défense construite en moellons de grés et de calcaire, sur une motte féodale.

Au XVIIIème siècle, un édifice classique fut rajouté à la tour, qui était devenue entretemps une église.



---EN---
Surrounded by a cemetery, the church of Saint-Denis is situated in center of the village.

The church tower is the oldest building in the village. Originally the tower was probably built of wood and surrounded by a ditch. This was where the population took refuge in case of danger.

In the Roman period (XIIth century), a tower was built of rough-cut sandstone and limestone and served as a defensive watch tower.

In the eighteenth century, a classical building was added to the tower, which in the meantime was used as a church
